Evolution of a Drag Racer. Need some help guys on getting the suspension right(Video)
I had one hell of a time keeping this beast going straight. We have the top end much better now but cutting 1.3 60fts makes it take off so hard that it brakes lose and hits a wall getting into 2nd gear
I just went and checked all my settings on the coilovers and they where way to soft. Turn the rear coilovers up all the way up and the fronts about half way. Also going to get the tires screwed to the rims.
I really feel like i can drop down to low 1.3 to 1.2 60fts with this new setup. With doing the burnout and using the handbrake i can really get her to come out hard out of the hole. Another problem we are having is we are running a 60mm wastegate so by 60mph im 33psi which is about 800-900whp! which is way to much power out of the hole. This is the lowest my boost will go with this spring.
There was no point in turning her up if i couldn't get her to go straight.
It was close to 100deg yesterday and the turbo and me was not liking it with a full flame suit and a tin can i was roasting lol.
I wanted to thank Lucas and Crew plus Brian and Jeff Bush for all the help this weekend. Couldn't do this without you guys. I'm going to play around with some things and take her back to the track on Thursday at Night. 50 deg is what they are calling for
Watch the video guys and give me some good feedback
English Racing put together one badass motor this thing never pushed any fluids and the oil is gorgeous! Lucas you got the motor build down right
I cut 2 1.3 60fts
one was 1.381 and the other was 1.382.

Getting there Paul! Have been wondering how things were going but didnt want to call figured you had enough on your plate. Looks like still need to sort the suspension out but was it just me or did you run that 150+mph when it popped out of second? 
On a side note i almost stopped watching the video soon as i seen the beginning...haha...
